Every night at 8:30, the city of
Providence, RI, blinks its lights for the
patients at Hasbro Children’s Hospital.
The Good Night Lights tradition began
with local cartoonist Steve Brosnihan
using his bike light to say ‘goodnight’ to
a young patient from a nearby bus stop.
Other residents, hotels, and passing
tugboats soon started to join in, and the
children have come to love the nightly
ritual so much, they signal back with
their own lights as a thank you.
